Willis for mono backing & leader. If you coat the last 3 inches of braid with head cement,let it stiffen up,makes it easier to thread into the outer sheath of the core. H.I.H.
That's a tournament or derby trick,deploy the ski's,even if your not pulling core/copper. Keeps the boats away..................... P.S. Anyone that pulls a full core + and stays within the pack,is asking for trouble eventually.
King population in lake Ontario is excellent,we have a 4 yr old class of silvers in the western basin currently,averaging 18-22 lbs.
Very well fed fish(see fish in my sig).
